10 reasons to live in Mascouche in 2026, taken from our neighbourhood guide

Living · Mascouche · September 14, 2026

Transit, shops, nature, schools, character and prices: ten concrete reasons to choose Mascouche, and where to read the reasons not to.

Ten reasons to live in Mascouche, taken from our neighbourhood guide and published figures: Mascouche was a farming village until the 1990s; Highway 25, then the Mascouche train in 2014, made it one of the region's youngest cities. Old Mascouche, around the church and chemin Sainte-Marie, keeps the old houses and the Domaine seigneurial, a large heritage park. Old Mascouche and the Domaine seigneurial are the character sector, above the median for renovated old houses. The station and 25-640 interchange neighbourhoods line up the recent 2005-to-2020 houses that make the volume, at or above the median, and most of the condos (townhouses). Every reason is a sentence already published in our Living in Mascouche guide, written by a team that sells there all year; the reasons not to live there (entry price, distance, school catchment, noise) are there too.

The 10 reasons, taken from our neighbourhood guide

1. 1. The character. Mascouche was a farming village until the 1990s; Highway 25, then the Mascouche train in 2014, made it one of the region's youngest cities.
2. 2. The character. Old Mascouche, around the church and chemin Sainte-Marie, keeps the old houses and the Domaine seigneurial, a large heritage park.
3. 3. The neighbourhoods. Old Mascouche and the Domaine seigneurial are the character sector, above the median for renovated old houses.
4. 4. The neighbourhoods. The station and 25-640 interchange neighbourhoods line up the recent 2005-to-2020 houses that make the volume, at or above the median, and most of the condos (townhouses).
5. 5. Getting around. Mascouche station is the terminus of the exo Mascouche line to Central Station; exo Terrebonne-Mascouche buses reach Montmorency metro in Laval.
6. 6. Getting around. Highway 25 (Olivier-Charbonneau bridge, tolled) leads to Laval and eastern Montreal; Highway 640 crosses the North Shore toward Terrebonne and Boisbriand.
7. 7. Parks, leisure and shopping. Grand-Coteau park (trails, cross-country skiing, sledding) and the Domaine seigneurial are the large spaces; neighbourhood parks, the aquatic complex and the arenas complete the offer.
8. 8. Parks, leisure and shopping. Shops are on montée Masson, chemin Sainte-Marie and near the 25-640 interchange; Old Terrebonne, next door, offers the restaurants.
9. 9. Schools and services. The city falls under the Centre de services scolaire des Affluents and the Sir Wilfrid Laurier School Board; the Cégep régional de Lanaudière is in Terrebonne.
10. 10. The real estate market. Mascouche is the North Shore's fastest sector: 23 days for a house in Q2 2026, for a $615,000 median (+7 % year over year, +54 % in five years) and 109 active listings, three times fewer than Terrebonne.

Every reason is a sentence from our Living in Mascouche guide, written by a team that sells there all year, and the figures are those published by the APCIQ; nothing is added to make it look good. What the city does less well is also in the guide, in the "who it does not suit" section.

And the reasons not to live there

No city suits everyone: the entry price, the distance to work, the exact school catchment of the street, the noise of a highway or a rail line, parking. The neighbourhood guide says who Mascouche suits and who it does not; our method is to say it before the visit, not after.
